Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to your aquarium lighting, especially when moving it into a brighter position.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps avoid stagnant areas without subjecting the colony to excessive direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust gradually only if its response suggests a different position is needed.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space to expand. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread onto nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally as part of a regular reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Gradually introduce changes in lighting or placement, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

A practical soft-coral choice for a thoughtfully planned reef layout.
